Not a good time to be associated with the University of California, even with the meek campus. Life in Idaho was and is far more tolerable. I don't know where you're going with "most American's (sic) view Native American and immigration policies" but I have never derided Native Americans nor their culture nor their lifestyles. Modern or historical. Margaret
